Shoshin Ryu has everything you need for self defense:striking - with all parts of the body, stances, footwork, blocks, throws, sweeps, joint locks/arm bars, chokes, escapes, ground fighting, kata, and more; Shoshin Ryu exemplifies the true and traditional meaning of mixed martial arts. Personal, mental, physical development, growth, and fitness are also part of the equation with Shoshin Ryu. Sensei Lawrence is an expert, talented practitioner and teacher of the art.

Aaron is an amazing person and martial artist. He trains with sincerity and teaches with patience and kindness and is TONS of fun. If you are in the area and looking for a martial arts class I cannot leave a recommendation strong enough to do him justice. But don't listen to me, find out for yourself!

I started training with Sensei Lawrence in 2011 in Wilmington, NC and trained under him until 2019 when he moved to Eugene. Since then, I've had the pleasure of training with him at multiple Shoshin Ryu & FCS conferences around the country. He is a well-respected leader in the martial arts community, and I cannot say enough about the breadth and depth of Sensei Lawrence's martial ability.The Shoshin Ryu Martial Arts system is extremely well thought out, and incorporates a wide variety of martial skills. You will learn joint manipulation, ground fighting, throws, weapons, forms, strategy, personal empowerment, and character development. Through these classes, you will improve your physical fitness, to include cardiovascular conditioning, core strength, flexibility, learning to fall safely, and balance.Sensei Lawrence is an excellent instructor who is adept at tailoring his instruction style to the needs/abilities of his students. He is well-versed in instructing children, beginners of all ages, and advanced practioners. He prioritizes skills with realistic martial application, meaning classes are self-defense heavy and meant to be useful.If you are looking to learn to defend yourself, increase your fitness, join a supportive community, and become a more well-rounded human being, Shoshin Ryu is the martial art for you, and Sensei Lawrence will absolutely help you attain your goals!
